My master is invincible

Chapter 2394 Marriage Coffin (2)

When Wei Baxian heard my question, he ignored me, but looked at Bu Chenyan, his voice suddenly became cold, and said coldly: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense."

Ok?
Freeze said?
I subconsciously looked towards Bu Chen Yan, and heard a soft voice: "Whether it's true or not, you should know in your heart, if you think I'm wrong, you can leave now."

While speaking, Bu Chenyan immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Looking at his movements, I immediately stared at Wei Baxian, and found that Wei Baxian had no tendency to leave.

Seeing this, how could I not understand what he meant, and reckoned that Bu Chen Yan was right.

But, what I don't understand is how did Bu Chenyan know?
You must know that this is the first time he and Bu Chen Yan have met, and from the tone of the two of them just now, it can be seen that the two of them should not know each other!
Then the problem is coming.

How did Bu Chenyan know about Wei Baxian?

For a moment, I stopped doubting, and looked at Bu Chenyan, but I heard Bu Chenyan say to Wei Baxian in a low voice: "What? Are you reluctant to leave?"

Hearing these words, Wei Baxian stared closely at Bu Chenyan and didn't speak.

Now, everyone could see what Wei Baxian meant.

Immediately, I didn't bother to talk nonsense, so I asked Wei Baxian directly, "Is it true?"

He faltered a sentence, and didn't say why, but Bu Chen Yan's guess was completely confirmed in his words.

I am really speechless about this.However, when I think about it carefully, it is also reasonable. After all, when Wei Baxian deliberately drew closer to me, I considered that he had something to look for me.

However, he said at the time that Yinchuan needed to build a Palace of Eight Immortals and needed my Fire Dragon Chunyang Sword, and I believed it at the time.

I didn't expect him to come to me with other things.

To be honest, as for the wedding coffin that Bu Chenyan mentioned earlier, I have heard a little bit about it. Although the name seems unlucky, it is actually an extremely auspicious thing.

The so-called marriage coffin, this custom was prosperous in the late Qing Dynasty, especially in the southern coastal areas, it was extremely respected.

This dowry coffin does not refer to some kind of coffin, but one of the dowries that the bride's family buys when a couple gets married.

If it is said that the three major items of a woman's dowry are house, car, and gold, then the three major items at that time were coffin, shroud, and tombstone.

Of course, looking at the dowry at that time from the current age, it will definitely make people speechless, and even more unbelievable.

To put it bluntly, whether it is a coffin, a shroud or a tombstone, it is extremely unlucky.

However, due to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people were destitute, and the people were miserable, and they couldn't even eat a full meal, let alone the funeral after death.Because of this, coffins, shrouds, and tombstones were definitely luxuries in those days, and they were not inferior to the so-called donkey bags now.

It was also at that time that a new term, thin-skinned coffin, appeared.

This kind of thin-skinned coffin is quite crude. The thinnest coffin only has a few pieces of shapeless bark. After you fiddle with it casually, and then tie it with hemp rope, a thin-skinned coffin comes out.

And this kind of thin-skinned coffin was also the most popular type of coffin at that time. It was economical and affordable. Many poor families would prepare a thin-skinned coffin when they married their daughters.

Of course, this coffin was not for his daughter, but for the man's parents.

Just imagine, in an era when you can’t even get enough food, you can’t get protection during your lifetime, and even worse after death.Therefore, in that era, after many poor people died, they would dig a hole and bury them directly. Only a slightly better family condition could be mixed with a thin-skinned coffin, and only a better condition could be used to lie in a coffin.

There is an old saying that goes like this, the sky is the lid of the coffin, the ground is the boards of the coffin, all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys are in the coffin.

This sentence is a doggerel in the society at that time. To put it bluntly, the society at that time could not afford a coffin, so it could only make fun of itself.

Because of the social situation at that time, when a wealthy family married a daughter in that era, the dowry consisted of three major pieces: a coffin, a shroud, and a tombstone. Things are settled after my own death, but on the other hand, I feel that my daughter-in-law is caring and virtuous, and she even thinks about her future affairs.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason. The homonym of coffin is Guancai, which means that the groom will be promoted and get rich.

So far, this custom has long been abandoned.

After all, today's society is by no means comparable to that in those days. People see the coffin as an ominous thing, and they think it is the daughter-in-law's mother's family cursing themselves.

However, then again, in some parts of China, there is still the custom of sending coffins.However, that kind of coffin is not a real coffin, but a small coffin made of gold, implying the groom's promotion and fortune.

It's just that what I don't understand is that it's the 21st century, why would Wei Baxian have such an idea?
Could it be that he married his daughter and wanted to send the coffin?
This is so embarrassing.

If the coffin was sent to the man's parents, the marriage would definitely be ruined.

Taking a deep breath, I stared at Wei Baxian with a strange expression on my face, and asked him, "Are you going to marry your daughter?"

He hummed and stopped talking.

This made me depressed, and I really didn't know what to say, so I said: "Old Wei, I didn't say you, it's a good thing that you want to marry your daughter, why make the coffin, isn't this embarrassing yourself!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across his face, and he said in a low voice: "It's nothing, since Palace Master Chen is not willing, I will naturally not force others to do so."

Hearing this, I really didn't know how to answer, so I looked at Bu Chenyan and asked him, "How did you know that?"

At that step, Chen Yan smiled confidently, "Ninth brother, look at his waist."

I immediately looked towards Wei Baxian's waist, and there was a red ribbon. The ribbon was extremely thin, and it would be hard to spot if you didn't look carefully, so I said, "It's nothing!"

At that step, Chen Yan smiled again, "Ninth Brother, think about it carefully, what is this Wei Baxian coming to Carmen Village for?"

Ok?
I subconsciously said: "It's a funeral!"

He hummed, and said with a smile: "I always wear a red ribbon when I attend funerals, it only means that there will be a happy event in the family soon, and at Wei Baxian's age, his daughter or son should have reached the age of marriage, which is not difficult to guess Come out, it should be a marriage."

Speaking of this, Chen Yan paused at that step, looked towards me, and said with a smile: "Since I came here, Wei Baxian has been staring at Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu's identity is a coffin bearer, so, I speculated that he should be looking for you to do something related to the coffin, and then thinking about his family's happy event, it is not difficult to guess that he wants to ask you to do something about marrying the coffin."
